Awesome , all i can say.

[@benjyhews9419]

Crikey - just 'discovered' these blokes - outstanding......

[@grumblekin]

I think that we can all agree that the upright is magical thing to hear.

[@jamiemontour7572]

Yeah! Have you heard him play with Martin, Madeski and Wood?

[@garyholdsworth53]

when played like that, yes

[@sprucemoose6149]

If you've ever seen reverend horton heat live you know how insanely loud they are

[@ireneruthfox]

Great cover. Upright Bassist is killing it.

[@laraleonidavna]

Pure and true. From the gut. ❤

[@DaynePeachman]

The Wood Brothers doing The Allman Brothers... I approve.

[@ABetterShreveport]

Sweet variation; the Wood Bros know how to capture a song and own a piece of it.

[@kerissabryant4950]

Such a rich sound!

[@dbphiladelphia]

Wood Brothers at the Philly Folk Festival. Most excited I've been to see an act there in 18 years of going!

[@rubycat13]

one of the better versions I've heard

[@Southernstoryteller1]

Been a HUGE fan since discovering them in 2008...Got tickets to see them next month!!! YAY :) LOVE their version of this SO much.

[@surferJohn1963]

dont know about the bass, one way or the other, but Oliver Wood is the most outstanding voice in music today.
imho.

[@benjyhews9419]

You wrote this comment 9 years ago - and I think you're STILL right!

[@TheChicomangman]

These guys are an absolute treat to see. They're actually opening for Zack Brown at Phillips in Atlanta on NYE

[@rowdycowboy85]

That man is beast on bass!

[@rollerblaker]

best version of midnight rider by far. and i love the way chris wood plays bass

[@BigDipper13]

dude owns it, love how he also chips in with a little percussion using it.

[@deborahlauren7902]

Excellent!!!!

[@beginningtosee7457]

Nice rendition

[@geralddaniel2977]

Holy shit never herd these guys before today....I herd a ton of crap today but nobody with talent......it's fucking shame.....these guy are awesome

[@rozytruelove]

the bass line is so perfect

[@DottryG]

[@wegottameetyou]

They are amazing!

[@lil_miss_strange]

oh Yeah! Groove it baby!

[@ampsandguitars]

Wow, so good!

[@simplylisalisa]

Fantastic cover! Love it!

[@consciousobserver629]

Oliver sounds fucking amazing. Chris, too, for that matter. Too bad this song didn't stay in their repertoire. Magic.

[@radeon110]

Crazy good

[@rickchilds5806]

I pretty much agree though I will say that Gregg Allman's version on his 1st solo album is a slower, mellower version....albeit, still a little mysterious. And Gregg wrote the song so.......

[@monicawillson]

a pearl!

[@1unvailableusername]

fucking badassss intonation on that bass fiddle .. holy cow!

[@bradleybrewer1546]

Nailed it

[@dnathans]

Agree to disagree. i love it.

[@themike1981234]

He sure is!

[@ammasdaddy2002]

so dope!

[@markegbriht3740]

more upright!
B ASS
love IT!

[@srepkie]

very nice!

[@bigbugs123]

Lovely

[@MrAckshawn1]

Yes boys Chris is one of the finest but I hope you guys don't discount Ollie. The guy is amazing and always performs with a gentlemanly humility that allows such a project to work. I'm so glad Super Wood Bros. got together to make my favorite band/game. lol 1337 Skills! Anyone wanna take a stab at the meaning of this song? I'm curious what you may think.

[@GediSpock]

Gentlemanly humility.
Love that. 🙏

[@benjyhews9419]

I looove a REAL bass...

[@MrMarkfranks]

I would be interested in showing this youtube video on my local tv show if you don't mind. We play charity ads for free.

[@roncombs25701]

Good cover

[@sumeursault]

HUGE bass sound. Anybody know if he's using gut for his D and G strings?

[@natcat40]

@shogunjobu Chris is is the Wood in MMW.

[@shogunjobu]

any connection to Madeski, Martin and Wood????

[@josephaitken4809]

Joseph Doherty yep the the bassist Chris wood was a member

[@TheChicomangman]

If y'all like this you should check out Oliver's long time project/original band, King Johnson.

[@phineasbanning2760]

do the brothers ever come out California way?

[@moethenatural9188]

lmao

[@Bohixxx]

Maybe you should ask Greg Allman.

[@_Cicero_]

Church and State.

[@scoobysnx]

Nothing to say here...just listen

[@BigDipper13]

Typically I love the Wood Brothers, but they kind of treat every cover the same, right? Here I think they sucked a lot of the life out of this tune. This is not meant to be mellow and sleepy, it's meant to be energetic, wandering and a little mysterious.

[@spacelink61]

1) No, not really. 2) Disagree, but hey! it's subjective. 3) Says who?

[@AlwaysHalloween000]

looking at the comments below makes me laugh --No this isn't good,this is absolutely horrendous,it's an insult to The Allman Brothers who were from the south and not from a bunch of nerds from Colorado 👎

[@davidlipman8093]

I always prefer the originals. But of the 57 covers of this song, at least these guys try to make it their own. I liked it.
